I want to get the Bad Santa DVD and see there is an unrated version. Are the DVD's the same feature-wise except that one has the extended version of the movie?

If you've seen the unrated version do you recommend it over the R version?

Mr. Salty

I might be in the minority, but I prefer the R-rated version of the movie. The added "naughty bits" in the unrated version don't amount to anything, and the unrated version has several additional gun shot hits during a chase sequence that, in my opinion, are too obvious and screw up the pacing of the sequence. The theatrical version has a much better flow to it.

The extras are the same on both discs.

The unrated version has a two-minute gag reel exclusive to that disc. Here's a review detailing all the additions:

My quick response to unrated vs. R-rated was that there were a lot of little tiny changes that I liked better, one new sequence (under five minutes) which was fine but added nothing, and the ending felt a little too long. It doesn't make or break the movie; I lean towards unrated because of the tiny changes, which all involve Thornton being allowed to go just a little bit further than he went in the R-rated.

Isnt the UNRATED only available in Widescreen?

Both the Unrated and Rated versions are only in widescreen. No full screen versions of the flick are available.

They are two different movies.






(Actually, my brother knows some people who bought both of them thinking they were two different movies.)
